Windows XP x64 compatibility with Windows 2000 Server

I was wondering if you can have Windows XP x64 workstations connected to a
Windows 2000 Server. What are the compatibility issues? We are thinking of
upgrading our CAD workstations to x64 because of memory limitations, and I
just needed to know if it would cause other issues.

Thank you,

I've seen nothing showstopping so far, but I'm only using my Win2K server
for file, print and authentication. Haven't messed with how x64 interacts
with AD yet...

yes, you most certainly can connect to a Win2k Server domain. You may have
some printer issues (but then, you could have those anyway), but if your
printers are addressable via TCP/IP, those should be fairly easily
resolvable, assuming the drivers are available.
